Vehicle Wraps - Get Paid To Drive

Can you really get paid to drive? You can, if you allow your car to be outfitted with what are called vehicle wraps or car wraps. Here's a little bit of history:

In the 1990s, roadside advertising was at its peak, with billboard space increasingly hard to come by and expensive. Someone came up with the idea of these vehicle graphics or car ads, whereby vehicle "graphics" were placed on people's cars; when those people drove their cars, a company's advertisement was driven right along with it, so to speak, and people would simply see these advertisements as they drove along the road, too.

Types of Wraps

· Company Vehicle Wraps

Companies that want to advertise their products or services can use vehicle wraps to do so. They can often do vehicle graphics on their own vehicles or on their employees' vehicles, so that their services are advertised quickly and easily, and is simply part of the "business." Alternatively, some companies will also pay people to have wraps placed on their cars; as stated previously, this is where vehicle graphics are applied to people's personal cars, and they are paid to simply drive with these graphics affixed to their cars. People who choose to participate in this can usually expect to make $1,000 a year (driving about 1000 miles a month) for small graphics, or up to $6,000 year for larger ones.

· Political, Public Service, or Special Interest Wraps

Some organizations will also pay for people to drive their cars with car wraps that advertise a particular event, political organization or party, election, and so on. In some cases, you can also volunteer to have car wraps put on your car; then, you essentially "volunteer" your time, stumping for a particular candidate or cause simply by placing an ad on your car.

Are They Safe to Use?

Car wraps absolutely are safe to use and will not damage your car. They're not permanent; they can be applied and peeled off on a whim, without damaging body paint or glass. Of course, it's wise to remember that car wraps should never be applied in places where they obstruct your field of vision when you're driving.

Considerations

You have to qualify to participate in paid vehicle graphics promotions, in that you have to drive at least 1000 miles a month (company specifications vary), you must be at least 18 years of age, and you must have a driver's license and your own car to participate.

Many companies also require that you be local, so that they can check to make sure you actually are driving the number of miles required with their vehicle graphics on your car. Again, company requirements vary. If you're interested in getting paid to drive with vehicle wraps, you can check online by searching locally for businesses in your area looking for this type of help. There are also nationally-based programs that participate; if you are interested in signing up with one of these, you can search for a locally based company that wants to participate in vehicle wraps' advertising campaigns.
